Warzone weapon changes
Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 4 is finally here and there are some pretty big weapon changes that are sure to flip the meta on its head.
Whenever a new seasonal update for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone rolls around, fans are quick to check what fresh changes are coming. This time around, the battle royale is getting an increase in player count to 120 and multiplayer is receiving a few new maps.
On top of that, these new updates also bring about new weapons, as well as changes to the current arsenal of guns. These updates also shift the meta in both Warzone and the normal multiplayer mode.
That’ll be the same story in Season 4, as the devs have finally tackled the BP50, DG-58 LSW, and Striker 9 with some changes. So, here’s what you need to know about the new round of weapon changes.
In terms of the big changes, the previously mentioned meta options in the BP50, Striker 9, and DG-58 LSW have all been changed. The BP50 has seen its movement speeds decreased across the board, while the Striker 9 has had its damage ranges and headshot multiplier nerfed.
Additionally, the SVA 545 has also been nerfed as the devs have looked to tweak the Assault Rifle’s mid damage range and headshot multiplier decreased.
On the other side of things, the BAL-27, MCW, and FJX Horus have also seen some interesting buffs. The Horus has undergone some of the biggest changes of the bunch, and should be propelled into the meta moving forward.
As ever, some of these changes are only going to take hold in Multiplayer, while others are specific to Warzone. This is evidenced by the sweeping changes to SMGs. So, be aware of that when you’re making changes to your loadouts.
